Abstract

We explicitly construct a genus-33 Lefschetz fibration over S2\mathbb{S}^{2} whose total space is T2×S2#6CP2\mathbb{T}^{2}\times \mathbb{S}^{2}\# 6\overline{\mathbb{C} P^{2}} using the monodromy of Matsumoto's genus-22 Lefschetz fibration. We then construct more genus-33 Lefschetz fibrations whose total spaces are exotic minimal symplectic 44-manifolds 3CP2#qCP23 \mathbb{C} P^{2} \# q\overline{\mathbb{C} P^{2}} for q=13,,19q=13,\ldots,19. We also generalize our construction to get genus-3k3k Lefschetz fibration structure on the 44-manifold Σk×S2#6CP2\Sigma_{k}\times \mathbb{S}^{2}\# 6\overline{\mathbb{C} P^{2}} using the generalized Matsumoto's genus-2k2k Lefschetz fibration. From this generalized version, we derive further exotic 44-manifolds via Luttinger surgery and twisted fiber sum.
